"Aramean" And "Heathen"

"Since the Jews used the term Aramaean as a designation for heathen, that name was rejected by the Syrian Christians. In its place they called their language by the Greek name Syrian or Syriac, a name which was originally identical with Assyrian but later was confined by the Greeks to the western portion of the Assyrian empire."
